BLACKOUT ON THE BOARDWALK IN SEASIDE HEIGHTS…

OPEN! Blackout on The Boardwalk is now a reality.

For about a year, Blackout was the vision of Gail Hershey, who now owns a second shop. (Her first, Beach Nut, is located in Belmar).

Blackout features items either totally black, or a combination of black and another color.

Not only did Gail envision the shop, she built it BY HAND!

A true boutique of black…

Gail designed this very mannequin display.

Menswear is also available.

One side of the shop is a beach shop, open during beach hours.

Jersey Shore dominates Seaside Heights on Memorial Day Weekend 2010…

PETE’S MOTTO FOR MEMORIAL DAY 2010, a phrase made famous by the international hit on MTV.
